Licttcr iVom Dr. Sage. Allexsville, April 10th 1857. Friexd Waldo: I see you have committed an error hi vour last issue, which I think should be corrected, as I believe all parlies should have justice meted out to ihem, especially in matters of so much importance as those about which you were speaking. You s;iy 'yet the Democratic party is responsible for this s'ate of affairs ;' and again, "The record proves that the Democratic majority in" the Senate prevented the transaction of all this importani business, "meaning the failure of the Tax, Revenue General Appropriation and other important bills which passed the House,

but were not reached in the Senate. Now the reverse of this is true. It will be recollected by those who read tne proceedings of the last Senate, that the Milier and Shryock contested sea's was laid over until two o'clock on the last Saturday of the session, by the consent of all parties, and made .he special order for that day and hour. But when the hour arrived, the Democrats

refused to take it up, but we:e clamorous from that, time until the close of the session, and were continually making motions to take up those very bills that failed to pass; thus show ing a desire to pass upon the most impottant legislation of the State; but the Republicans, who had a majority in the Senate, (and not the Democrats, as you have it,) refused to the last to let any business be done until the said contested s eai was deci leJ. thus showing that they considered that ne case of more importance to the people of the S:a:e than ihe pas.-a 'O of those biils. I d'd not then, nor do 1 i.ow, by any means justify the Democrats in refusing to come to a direct vole upon that contested seat, but I then held that it was the duty of the Republicans to permit those bills to come up and be enacted into laws, when they .saw thai

to bring them "p and pass them. While .1; Dcinocrais did wroti- in not lotlino- ihe Miller case jorne to a vole, the Republicans did a far greater one, in not permitting those bilis to pa as and become laws, when ihey must have known that if it was not done, the wheels ot the Stale Government must be greatly retarded, if not entirely slopped. Besides as a party move, ;t was an error, for as "the records show," ihey prevented finally the. pSaage of those laws, while ihe Democrais were pressing ihem forward, anxious to pass them; and .hus, wuh the record" before the pepK, they will in future canvasses gain victories when, had the Republicans acted more wisely, it would, I doubt not, bo otherwise.

Maryland contending that the expression in its charter, 'to the fortieth degree, meant forty degrees complete the Assembly and proprietaries of Pennsylvania, on their part, insisting that in the charter of Pennsylvania, the expression 'to begin

at the bet'inninif of the fortieth decree of

north laiuude ou-rht to be construed to be where the thirty-ninth was completed. This dispute involved a tractof country nearly C.UUO miles in extent; and had it been assigned to Lord Baltimore, ihe superfice of Pennsylvania would have been reduced nearly one-fourth. Thus matters went on until 1732, when in August of that year a compro.niso was effected snd commissioners appointed to determine, survey, and mark the respective boudaties in controversy. The duties assigned to these commissioners wss to trace the following lines: "Beginning at Cape Henlopen, and thence due west to the western side of the peninsula, which lies upon Chesapeake Bay, and as fir westward .13 the exact middle part of the peninsula, where the

said line is run" then north to the extreme west paat of a circle twelvs miles radius. Newcastle on iln Delaware bein the cen

tre. From the tangent thus obtained, a line due north to the parallel fifteen statute miles south of Philadelphia, and thence by the extension of this parallel to the western boundary of Pennsylvania. The Commissioners met, but differing on some important points, separated without effecting anything. Difficulties created delays, while the inhabitants who had settled near tho places where the lines were supposed to run, were, in tne mean time, suhj-cied to vexatious demands from both colonies; the ordinary process of justice was interrupted, and the tenure of property rendered insecure. In 1723 the Penn family, desirous of closing the controversy on the terms of the compromise of 1732, instituted a suit in the Ch an eery of Great Britain. In 17GU. the Lord Chancellor, Hardwick, desired that 'the articles of May 1J, 1732 should be carried into execution, and that proper commissioners should be appoint-1 ed for the purpose.' These commissioners also met pursuant to appointment. Xo-

Finally, tri 17C2 the respective proprie.ors agreed to employ Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, two eminent mathematicians, who forthwith proceeded to the accomplishment of their task of surveying and marking the boundaries

between Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, and thus closed a troublesome celonial litigation of eighty years. Although Mason and Dixon determined the boundaries between the States just mentioned, it is only that portion or the line which constitutes the southeastern boundary of Pennsylvania that is now so fiequently referred to. Mason & Dixon's line, proper, extends to a point about forty miles west of the Susquehanna river, and not to the

western boundary of Pennsylvania, as some 'imagine the prolongation of the boundary beynd that western termination of Mason & Dixon's line having been traced several years subsequently.

who, in November, 1G85, by an order of

Council, determined thealiair by ordering a division of the disputed territory. By the terms of this order, the tract Ivin" between the liver and bay of Delaware, and a line ftom the laiituloof Cape Henlopen ti the fortieth degree of north latitude was a Ij.t lg'd t belong to his M ij siy. King Janus IL, and ihe remainder of the disputed lerri ry (now a part of ihci

eastern shore of Maty lind) was assigned to Lord Dal.imore. The uder of Cuncil was not acted upon. In the meantime fresh causes of contention arose, which served to complicate matter still more. Ono of tho oiiginal disputes was respect ing tho fortieth degrea of north latitude.

Position in Sleeping. It is better to go te sleep on ihe light side, for the stomach is very much in the position of a bollle turned upside down, and the contents are aided in passing' out by gravitation. Ifoneg.x-s to sle'p on the left side, the opcrati m of emptying the

stomach of its contents is more like drawing v.i:er from a well. After going to sle'-p, let the body take its own position.

If yu go to sleep on your back, especial

ly soon after eating a hearty mal, the weight of the digestive organs, and that of thu food, resting on the great vein of the body, near the backbone, Compresses it, and arrests the flow of ihe blood more r less. If ihe arrest is partial, the sleep is disturbed, and there are unpleasant dreams. If the meal has been recent or hearty, tho

arrest is more decided, and the various sensations, sueh as falling over a preci

pice, or the pursuit of a wild beast, or oth-l

er impending danger, and the desperate

effort to get rid of it, arouses us; that sends

on the Sti''naiing bhwjd, and we wake in a fright, or trembling, ur in a perspiration,

or feeling of exh tusiion, according tj tho d""iee of sta gnation -and the leng li and O O

strength of the effort made to eceape .the danger. ' Hut when we are nt able to cscapo thw danger, when wo do fall iv-r I Im

dry combustible mold. One thousand pounds of wheat yield twenty-four pouals of nitrogen. In the forma. ion of live tons of clover, two huudilred and for) pouuJs of uLrogiu are consumed. Wheat straw yijhU only one-eighth as much nitrogen as wheat. The proportions given ab ovo aro not chemically exact, but sulHe.iently so for all practical purposes.

Uetore a soil can produce a good wheat or other crop, it must contain, in an available condition, every substance consumed or required in forming the stems and seeds of the plant.

It the fertility of land depended on the amount of vegetable matter in the soil, then black muck would bo the best for wheat, instead of ihe poorest. Light, sandy soils, almost des'itute of mold, have been made to produce good crops of wheat an 1 corn by the application

f plaster and lime. This shows that plains can draw oxygen, hydrogen and carbon trenn the atmosphere. There is probably not an atom on the

will be bought from you.

Forgiveness is ihe sweet which flu were shed when trampled on.
